  1. Not really much of a concern anyway, as there's no way tibet is going anywhere. That cause is pretty much lost, it's only idle social media activists in the west who still like to bring it up. Even India, who literally host the Dalai Lama, don't bother with it.

  2.  @tsubadaikhan6332  It was still better under him than what it is now. They made things a LOT worse. Also remember that they helped him earlier on, as part of their geopolitical games, so even if you want to criticize him, they're STILL responsible for this.

  3. Yeah and guess which major foreign hegemony reduced them to this...

  5.  @tsubadaikhan6332  They had a govt. You destroyed it. They even had a govt. before that, and you helped the man who ruined that so as to establish his own govt. that you then went on to destroy again.

  6. How about 'a nation not in the middle east did this to them'? Oh wait, that's not new either...

  7.  @riser7795  There is no leverage. It's a 'card' sure, but only for fighting for moral browny points in the media. It achieves nothing on the ground. The only one it helps is whoever is using it for their PR.

  8.  @SidMajors  I've watched him for years. This channel changed a lot from about the early 2020s. Less impartial, more pandering. He's grown to know his audience, and cater to them. Also more willing to take on ever shadier sponsors.

  9.  @nntflow7058  What's gonna happen pray? If you want to try staging an invasion of a region larger than most countries across the Himalayas, good luck lol!

  10.  @shada5509  Sure 'we' are lol. I'm guessing you're of the diaspora. If so, you're not Iraqi anymore sorry. You abandoned your country.

  11.  @Ze_Moose  They have better things to worry about than Isr. Besides Isr is tied to the west. You know their history with the west right?

  12.  @WhatAboutYou123  The only fact is that the fertility rate is 3.4. The rest is your bias and ego talking. And ignorance.

  13.  @Ayem427  I know what liberal IR thinks leverage is, and then what realist IR knows it is. There's a reason why one of those schools of IR is literally called 'real' lol.

  14.  @user-sh3cf7kd6e  Maybe Amrika should stop suppressing Iyeran first.

  15.  @user-sh3cf7kd6e  Yes. The spelling change was deliberate, cos YT was being censorious again. And no, most of the world isn't doing that. It's mainly the west and its allies. They just have undue levels of influence over the global economy, particularly in finance, that they leverage. Cuba for instance has won the world's support almost entirely every year for over 2 decades at the UN. They're still isolated, purely because of ONE country. Iran too has most nations willing to trade with it, but for you know who's diktats. They at least still do trade in other currencies - those diktats hurt smaller nations like Cuba more than larger ones as they have less to offer to convince nations to refuse to play ball.

  16.  @user-sh3cf7kd6e  Oh also did you know Amrika has no issue with dictators? Again Cuba is a great example. They keep going on about Castro, but never mention Batista - its former dictator who got along great with. Or consider Gautemala, where they installed one. Or Iraq, where they helped the very man they'd oust years later. Or Iran, where they backed the Shah. Or Saudi Arabia, whose leaders they still back to this day. Or Vietnam, who they hypocritically court now despite their storied history with it, just to counter China. And that despite its govt. being the side they fought against. And so on..

  19.  @user-sh3cf7kd6e  Btw did you know Amrika is one of only two nations that taxes people globally? The other is Eritrea, whose reach is negligible. Every other nation doesn't do that, cos they don't have the control to. But Amrika is a rule unto itself, with the financial leverage to do it, which it uses. There are no sanctions that everyone has collectively decided, rather just ones that they abide by shaped by others. It's no different from why most nations don't accept Taiwan as an independent state. China is one of the few countries that can similarly exercise power. Amrika has just been doing it longer, so everyone is used to it and some, like you, think it's the world lol.

  20.  @user-sh3cf7kd6e  And I don't care if you're not Amrikan. You chose to get on a moral pedestal, I'm simply knocking you off of it. None of the things I mentioned are your fault anyway, even if you were Amrikan. You've just clearly fallen for the moralist narrative of the *est, hence I'm debunking it.

  22.  @WhatAboutYou123  Another one who knows nothing about demographics I see. I bet you pat yourself on the back telling yourself you're so enlightened for not having many kids, never realizing just how determined your 'choice' was by your circumstances. Go learn economics kid.

  23.  @WhatAboutYou123  Oh and I'm also now suggesting that you have bad reading comprehension, as evidenced by your lack of it in your reply to me above. So consider learning english as well as economics.

  24.  @WhatAboutYou123  I'm suggesting you know nothing about demographics. You want people to stop having many kids? Go educate yourself on when people actually stop having many kids.

  25.  @Oleca-ej7qo  Also you still don't acknowledge why they have more kids and you don't. Cos real economics is foreign to you lot. All you know is cultural stereotypes

  26.  @bananasplit3805  In that case Yikrin is fine too. You don't get to excuse yourselves while attacking others.

  27.  @MrDosonhai  Lol what a long-winded and impassioned speech you just made, all to say that might makes right lmao! 😅 That too you don't even have much nuance in your thoughts on what makes places mighty either. Like how old are you kid? 😂

  28.  @ChronicAndIronic  I remember when people had basic levels of imagination, and were aware of the platforms they're on. The different spellings were deliberate, to get my comment through.

  30.  @Oleca-ej7qo  'Stop having 10 kids per family' - you obviously know nothing about birth rates. You want them to stop having kids? Throw all that wealth of yours their way. Also 10 kids is so obviously ignorant.

  31.  @WhatAboutYou123  I'm suggesting you know nothing about demographics. You want people to stop having many kids? Go educate yourself on when people actually stop having many kids. The only reason you don't have many is cos of where your life is most likely, not cos you're any better than the supposedly ignorant ones who do.

  33.  @Oleca-ej7qo  Data contradicts you. The fertility rate of Iraq is 3.4. Stop spreading ignorance please. Also you still don't acknowledge why they have more kids and you don't. Cos real economics is foreign to you folk. All you know is racial stereotypes.

  40.  @Maximiliano896  Funny you say that about China. The same logic applies to the west. China literally just rose back up. The west is already overdue, if such a thing can be said to be overdue, for its comeuppance Sure every empire will fall, but you've no business feeling you know which falls first. One day it'll happen to them. But also, one day it'll happen to you. When's your day?...

  44.  @user-sh3cf7kd6e  According to your dumb logic nothing is being done to Cuba. Year after year, for decades, almost the ENTIRE world has condemned the policy of ONE country towards it. Even some of that country's allies have voted against it. They all want it to be able to trade freely. And yet it doesn't. Cos of ONE country, and the power it wields. They give the world an ultimatum - trade with us or them. And everyone knows who the bigger market is. The bigger you are, the more you're able to convince nations to resist that pressure. Hence why it's biggest victims aren't even its chief rivals, but the small and weak nations that dare to cross it. Like poor Cuba, punished for decades for defying it.
